Silverkit's Apprentice Ceremony

"Let all those old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath High Rock for a clan meeting!" Duskfall yowled once he'd leapt onto the rock. It was time for another kit to take their place amongst their kin and become an apprentice. Little Silverkit, found wandering about in their camp on the orders of her mother, the tom had his reservations about her, but he gave her a chance. After all, Redpaw had been a good son, a loyal clan cat until he died. He only hoped Silverkit would be more like him over Soaringwing.

Songkit came from the nursery quietly to watch the ceremony. She was curios how it worked really.

For the first time ever, Silverkit couldn't control her movements. She was running, prancing, and bounding around camp as Duskfall called everyone together. Its finally happening... I'm becoming an apprentice... She was pawing at all the moths she saw and kicking up every leaf in her path. Silverpaw... It has a nice ring to it.

Frozenflame entered the camp and padded over to the deputy, his brother in law. The tom sat down and waited, assuming it was an apprentice ceremony.

Sunpelt and Flamestripe trotted from the warriors den and sat down beside Frozenflame. "Hey!" Flamestripe said to his brother, Frozenflame. Sunpelt waved his tail at Frozenflame, his cousin.

"Silverkit, step forward." Duskfall called out once he saw that the clan had gathered, his ears twitching at the cheery greetings between warriors. Hardly the most appropriate time, but he couldn't begrudge his clan for being close and friendly with each other. Specklefur's difficulties with certain members had him concerned, so this was a most welcome sight to him.

After giving the kit a moment to take her place, he begun. "Silverkit, you've reached the age of six moons, and it's time for you to be apprenticed. From this day onwards until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Silverpaw. Your mentor will be Frozenflame. He is an experienced warrior who has proven himself in battle multiple times. You could have no finer mentor. I place you in his capable paws."

Silverkit, now Silverpaw, puffed out her chest and looked up at the morning sky. It was a beautiful orange shade. She then looked at Frozenflame in excitement. All this was a gift. A gift from Mother. A gift from StarClan,She thought as she walked through the crowd of cats to touch noses with her new mentor. I'm one step closer to becoming a warrior.

Frozenflame couldn't help but smile when his name was called. The tom gave a small nod to Duskfall, then stepped forward to touch noses with his new apprentice. "Congratulations," he purred as their noses touched.

"Thank you," Silverkit said gratefully as she touched noses with him. She then smiled at Duskfall, and went to go check out the apprentices den.

OOC: I think this is closed, right?
